If it’s true that life is a test, then the COVID-19 pandemic represents the most challenging one education and everyone in the field has ever faced.

The pandemic has really put a strain on educators, yet they continue to rise to the occasion on behalf of kids. The main takeaway with time though is to develop ways to give it unconditionally to teachers and not schedule or mandate anything else in its place, such as meetings or PLC's. The majority of educators fall into the latter.
